Under Siege is an action-packed movie from 1992 that stars Steven Seagal, Gary Busey, and Tommy Lee Jones. The film takes place onboard the USS Missouri, an American battleship that is scheduled to be decommissioned. Seagal plays Casey Ryback, a former Navy SEAL who is now a ship's cook. The movie begins with a group of terrorists led by former CIA operative William Strannix (Tommy Lee Jones) hijacking the ship. Strannix and his team of mercenaries plan to steal two Tomahawk missiles and sell them to the highest bidder. They also plan to use the ship's nuclear warheads to create a devastating explosion in Honolulu.

Ryback, who is the only one on board with combat training, must use his skills to stop the terrorists and save the ship. He teams up with the ship's executive officer, Commander Krill (Gary Busey), who is secretly working with the terrorists.

The movie is full of action and suspense, with gunfights, explosions, and fight scenes aplenty. Seagal is at his best in this film, showcasing his martial arts skills and tough-guy persona. Jones is equally impressive as the suave and dangerous Strannix, who is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants.

In addition to the action, the movie also has some moments of humor and drama. Ryback's relationship with a Playboy model who is also on board the ship adds some levity to the proceedings, while the tension between Ryback and Krill adds to the drama.

One of the standout sequences in the film is the fight scene between Seagal and Jones. The two engage in a brutal hand-to-hand combat that showcases their skill and athleticism. The scene has become one of the most iconic in movie history, and is a testament to the talents of both actors.

Overall, Under Siege is a thrilling and entertaining action movie that still holds up today. The performances of Seagal, Jones, and Busey are all excellent, and the direction by Andrew Davis keeps the pace of the film moving at a frenetic pace. Whether you're a fan of action movies or just looking for a fun popcorn flick, Under Siege is well worth a watch.

Under Siege is a 1992 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 43 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.5 and a MetaScore of 58.
